Where Can I Find The Lacto-Free Cows?
(My siblings and I are over at our parents’ house for dinner, and my sister has brought some un-homogenized whole milk from a local dairy. My dad’s doctor has recently encouraged him to cut down on animal fats for his health.)
Dad: “I can’t have that. There’s too much fat.”
Sister: “That’s all right. We’ll just pour you some before we shake it and then take off the cream.”
Dad: “No, it still comes from a whole cow.”
Brother: “A… whole cow?”
Dad: “Yeah. I can only drink milk from skim cows.”
Brother: “That’s not how it works.”
Dad: “Yes it is. There are skim cows, 2% cows, and whole cows.”
Me: “What about 1%?”
Dad: “I guess they have 1% cows, too.”
Me: “And does chocolate milk come from brown cows?”
Dad: “No, that’s stupid.”
(He didn’t understand why we all thought that was funny.)
